Social ride: Remutaka Incline to Cross Creek 20th Sept 9-30am

Details

This ride will be about 40kms. But if you choose to only do certain parts that is ok too
Bring lights for the tunnels

Remutaka Rail Trail: Up the Incline to the summit. Then down to Cross Creek then the narrow trail to the carpark. Back to the top and on the way down go up Goat Rock and back to the Incline car park via Kaitoke loop road to the carpark

What's the track like?
The ride follows a well graded track (with a slight incline) following the old steam train tracks, past the swing bridge to Cross Creek on the Wairarapa side.

The tracks we are on are shared with dogs, walkers and other cyclists.

What equipment will I need?

  • A well-maintained bike with MTB tyres
  • Helmet
  • Bike gloves
  • Spare tube, tube repair kit, pump and basic bike tools
  • First aid kit
  • Lights - there are tunnels on this ride
  • Water and snacks
  • A light wind/rainproof jacket
  • Warm clothing. It will be cold at the start
  • Emergency Contact Card (see below for details)

Anything I need to be aware of?
We ride as a group, as fast as the slowest rider.

EMERGENCY CONTACT CARD/DETAILS
Ideally it should be waterproofed, easily available i.e. secured in the top pocket of your bike pack.

When and Where will we meet?
Follow SH2 from Wellington past Upper Hutt, until you pass the reservoirs (Twin Lakes) and SH2 widens and goes uphill. When you start to descend you will see a large brown sign for the Remutaka Rail Trail.

Turn RIGHT off SH2 and then an immediate LEFT on to Incline Rd, follow this road to the Remutaka Rail Trail car park.
